#3 Are we assuming 'rubber'?

A medic in the village of Sitra, south of the capital, told AFP that more than 200 people had been hospitalised with buckshot wounds. (AFP)

Well, they're not using flachette rounds, yet.

#4 Daring someone with a gun to shoot you is just plain stupid. Here's a handy service announcement that some may find helpful:

#5 I wish that Chris Rock had done a much better quality and longer version of that. He could probably recruit any number of black celebrities, and make some very telling points above and beyond what he did.

If he could recruit Snoop Dog, that alone would be worth a good 10 minutes on "drugs and the police". Some big guys, and he could have a section on "prison and you". Lots of possibilities.

#6 Hey I was surprised to see "Hey mista". My son while in Iraq was pestered constantly by the yutes.
Hey mista, Hey mista just nagged the daylights out of him. He had a coke bottle for his chew spit and they wanted it. So he gave one the bottle. One drank it and spit it out. Well it stopped the nagging.
